Last year we didn't play to the conditions. We were perfectly capable of beating Leeds last year. In 2007 we were not. We just weren't in the game. This year we were not but we haven't been playing right for ages, so the loss comes as no surprise to me at all. 2008 was a different matter and unique in the three events IMO.
We also put more points on the board in that game than in this and looked like we could nick it pretty much until the end. We could still do that kind of thing last year.
